This review is the most difficult one I have ever written. There are so many things about the Stillman Inn that are positive and yet disappointing. The Inn is adjacent to Ulysses S and Julia Grant’s house, easy to find, and impressive to behold. I made the reservations in haste, having waited until the last minute. After several trips to...

Had an amazing weekend. The house was beautiful, pictures do not do justice. First time staying at a b&b and was a great experience. The hosts and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will book there again when back in the area!

Dave and Bernadine were very hospitable and friendly. The breakfasts were very interesting a unique (heart shaped pancakes stuffed with fruit, fried banana bread), they do a very nice job of helping guests get to know one another. The house itself is picturesque, our room was clean and had everything you would need. Somewhere on-line I remember reading it was...

This review is long over due as we stayed there a little over a month ago. That being said, the Inn was fabulous; Bernadine and Dave were terrific hosts. The breakfasts were unbelievable ( gotta go with slathered.....), and Dave's knowledge of the history of the Inn and Galena was amazing. He was very helpful with directions and recommendations on...

Our stay at the Stillman Inn was fantastic! The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the access to late night snacks. Bernadine is an amazing chef and Dave will keep you laughing. They made our stay so relaxing and were a wealth of information for our first visit to Galena. A truly delightful couple. We will be back to...

Dave and Bernadine are delightful host and hostess. Always at your disposal. Beautiful rooms, scrumptious breakfasts and great location. They will even carry your suitcases up the stairs. We will return.

I never stayed at a B&B before, so I was a little nervous. I booked a room for a birthday get-a-way for my husband. Dave was fantastic!! Property was adorable. It was within walking distance to everything. The breakfast was beyond what I expected. I would highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back!! Thanks Dave!! :)

The Inn is beautiful, and Dave and Bernadine put a lot of work into making sure everyone has a great stay. The rooms are nice with a lot of attention to detail. Breakfast was very good, with several choices on the menu. We liked that there was fruit, cookies and ice cream bars available 24x7. They seem to have thought...

My husband and I stayed here Columbus day weekend. Even though the county fair was that weekend and there were a lot of people in town, the Inn was quiet and relaxing. The innkeepers were very hospitable and friendly. I highly recommend this B&B and it's hosts (which are the best in Galena) for your next weekend vacation.

My husband and I had never experienced a Bed & Breakfast, and let me tell you, I was so grateful this was our first! Dave and Bernadine have the most incredible hospitality, and the Inn is absolutely beautiful! Our room was comfortable, including the bed, mini-fridge stocked with water, TV with cable, bath robes, private bathroom and of course the...
